Guy Who Invented Foam Finger Upset w/ Miley

I think this guy's just trying to drum up sales for his foam fingers. Its a conspiracy, I tell you!

One guy who is NOT down with MILEY CYRUS' performance last weekend at the "VMAs" is STEVE CHMELAR.

Who is Steve Chmelar, you ask? He's the guy who invented one of Miley's new favorite props . . . the FOAM FINGER. He came up with it back in 1971, when he was only 16 years old. He's 59 now.

And here's what he thinks of how Miley used it . . . quote, "I would say that it certainly misrepresented its intent to encourage team support. She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it."

Chmelar thinks the foam finger will endure . . . and believe it or not, he hopes Miley will do the same.

He says, quote, "Fortunately, the foam finger has been around long enough that it will survive this incident. As for Miley Cyrus, let's hope she can outlive this event and also survive."
